advantage of it. The refreshments were
delicious and the entire affair was highly
enjoyable.
For the coming week there are several
events promised that will furnish amuse-
ment TO our society people to last them
through Lent, although it would surprise
no one to hear of lots of little card parties
being given through the fasting season. This
wa the case last year and il is not much
doubt that will he the same this. There
is certainly no harm in a party or con-
genial young folks, with a few elders
thrown in, for that matter, assembling at
the home OF one Of them and indulging in
a quiet little game of whist or euchre, and
if it has Just a little of the spice of stolen
fruit about it, that makes it all the more
enjoyable.
1t was noticed that the last hop given at
F~ranZheim'S Hall was much more enjoy
able than many others given previously.
On investigating the cause, it was found 10
be due to the fact of early hours. The
dance began at $50 O'Clock and stopped
promptly at l o'clock in the morning.
Anyone who is reasonable and healthy
can get enough dancing in four hours and a
half, and il was noticed that all who at
tended felt much better and brighter the
next day, and that is the reason so many
are anticipating with pleasure the coming
of next Thursday evening, at which time
the second of the series of early-houred hops
will be given at the same hall with Kra-
mer to make the music. There Is every
indication that the commence early and
end early system will hold sway in the
future with smaller dances, while the big
balls will probably stick TO the old hours.
The only disadvantage in the small
dances is the absence of refreshments,
as the young folks do not care about
losing enough time to take any. The
young ladies, however, can provide for
themselves before leaving home by having
a lunch set in their chambers. Areal sour
pickle and a few bon bOns is all they care
for, while the yOHng men can Oyertake a
restaurant before it closes and WOO soft
slumber and sweet dreams by eating a
dozen fried oysters and drinking a pint OF
ale.
The following interesting bit was heard
on the street, the other day, regarding a
certain young man, whose name Is changed
here for his benefit
rs it really true that little Perkyns is
going to marry the housemaid?
mo; but he ought to-"
And this calls to mind another short
conversation heard some days ago on Mar
ket street. One gentlemen said to another:
'YOu look sad, old man. What ails
you?"
MY mother-in law is Just dead, lear
boy. What will you have TO drink"
The musical society event of the week
was the second song reCitel of SignOr F.
d. Auria's pupils, at Banners Music Hall
on Thursday evening. Notwithstanding
the decidedly dlsaglgreeable weather, u
large number of Wheeling's most cultured
people turned out TO listen to the music,
which as usual was delightful, and was
highly appreciated by the audience. 1t is
understood that the class will shortly give
part of the charming opera, 'TrOvatore''
in costume and if it is all sung rs we'll as
the Duet and chorus from the opera, which
closed the programme on Thursday evening
it will certainly be splendid.
On Friday evening Mrs. Col. W. W. Ar
nett gave a very delightful card party at
mentary 10 Miss Re Smith, an accomplished
young lady of Virginia, who is Mrs. Geo.
Il. Caldwell.S guest. Euchre and whist
occupied the time and attention of the COM
pany in a very pleasant until IL
O'Clock, when delicious refreshments were
served in a very charming tanner. After
a long and satisfactory discussion of the
edibles, cards We're resumed and a number
of exciting games followed, until half-past
l o'clock yesterday morning, when the
guests reluctantly retired from the scene
ofsO much pleasure.
\ very pretty and simple costume for
evening dress is described as follows: 1t
was made into a high-necIed basque, with
elbow sleeves caught close with ribbon, a
full plain drapery, and was entirely of
white guipure lace over white silk, with
bands of pales green MORE introduced as
side panels in a sash and rs reverS on both
back and front of the basque. A gauze
fan combining the two colOrs and a bOu-
quet of violets completed the toilet.
Among the new combinations of color is
black with pale-blue. This is effective
when the black is tulle or lace aud the blue
ribbon or flowers. 4 bunch of great forget
me-nots worn against a black tulle ball
dress by n woman with n little color in her
face produces an artistic combination.
Mauve and deep violet is another exquisite
combination, and is seen in many Of the
new gowns and b0nnetS. Black and bee
brown is shown in brocades on satins and
y~elvets, and is very desirable for matrons
new mingling color that is generally ad-
mircd.
One of the most enjoyable and largest
events of the coming week will be the fan
cy dress skating and dancing carnival TO be
given by the Bachelor Club at the Alham-
bra Palace Rink, next Thursday evening.
i large number of ladies and gentlemen
have already signifed their intention of
attending, and it gives promise of being
the largest event of the season. The full
Opera House orchestra will furnish the
music both for skating and dancing.
Should any of the friends of the club have
been overlooked in sending out the invita-
tons they are invited to attend ANYWAY.
and Others who know they would be
welcome.
The Maennercbor Singing Society will
give a grand carnival at their hall to-
morrow evening in celebration of st. VAL
%entine's Day. A long and amusing pro-
gramme of arrangements has been
made out, and the event promises to be a
great success. kramer's foil orchestra

time is anticipated.

Miss Julia DERRICK. two well known
young people Of Center Wheeling, were
